Explanation
Correct Answer
(2) - (4) - (1) - (3)
Explanation
The sequence follows a strict chronological order of logical physical actions. Sentence (2) must happen first because the container needs to be unsealed ("He opened the envelope"). Sentence (4) follows logically as the object inside is extracted ("He took out the letter"). Sentence (1) represents the next action of reading the contents ("He read the first few lines"), which directly triggers the emotional reaction in sentence (3) as the conclusion ("His eyes widened in shock").
